Debian DSA-282-1 : glibc - integer overflow

eEye Digital Security discovered an integer overflow in the xdrmemgetbytes function which is also present in GNU libc. This function is part of the XDR external data representation encoder/decoder derived from Sun's RPC implementation. Depending upon the application, this vulnerability can cause...

Debian DSA-149-1 : glibc - integer overflow

An integer overflow bug has been discovered in the RPC library used by GNU libc, which is derived from the SunRPC library. This bug could be exploited to gain unauthorized root access to software linking to this code. The packages below also fix integer overflows in the malloc code. They also...

Debian DSA-039-1 : glibc

The version of GNU libc that was distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 suffered from 2 security problems : - It was possible to use LDPRELOAD to load libraries that are listed in /etc/ld.so.cache, even for suid programs. This could be used to create and overwrite files which a user should not be...

Debian DSA-103-1 : glibc - buffer overflow

A buffer overflow has been found in the globbing code for glibc. This is the code which is used to glob patterns for filenames and is commonly used in applications like shells and FTP servers. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this...

CVE-2002-1146

The CVE-2002-1146 issue affects BIND 4 and BIND 8.2.x stub resolver libraries, and older glibc/libc/libresolv components (e.g., glibc ≤ 2.2.5) which use the maximum buffer size instead of the actual DNS response size, causing a read buffer overflow. This can enable a remote attacker to cause a de...

CVE-2002-0651: Undefined Security Weakness

Buffer overflow in the DNS resolver code used in libc, glibc, and libbind, as derived from ISC BIND, allows remote malicious DNS servers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the stub resolvers...

CVE-2002-1146: Undefined Security Weakness

The BIND 4 and BIND 8.2.x stub resolver libraries, and other libraries such as glibc 2.2.5 and earlier, libc, and libresolv, use the maximum buffer size instead of the actual size when processing a DNS response, which causes the stub resolvers to read past the actual boundary "read buffer...

GLSA-200408-16 : glibc: Information leak with LD_DEBUG

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200408-16 glibc: Information leak with LDDEBUG Silvio Cesare discovered a potential information leak in glibc. It allows LDDEBUG on SUID binaries where it should not be allowed. This has various security implications, which may be...

glibc: Information leak with LD_DEBUG

Background The GNU C library defines various Unix-like "system calls" and other basic facilities needed for a standard POSIX-like application to operate. Description Silvio Cesare discovered a potential information leak in glibc. It allows LDDEBUG on SUID binaries where it should not be allowed...

RHEL 2.1 : glibc (RHSA-2004:383)

Updated glibc packages that fix a security flaw in the resolver as well as dlclose handling are now available. The GNU libc packages known as glibc contain the standard C libraries used by applications. A security audit of the glibc packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 found a flaw in the...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : glibc (MDKSA-2003:037)

An integer overflow was discovered by eEye Digital Security in the xdrmemgetbytes function of glibc 2.3.1 and earlier. This function is part of the XDR encoder/decoder derived from Sun's RPC implementation. Depending upon the application, this vulnerability can cause buffer overflows and could...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : glibc (MDKSA-2001:095)

Flavio Veloso found an overflowable buffer problem in earlier versions of the glibc glob3 implementation. It may be possible to exploit some programs that pass input to the glibc glob function in a manner that can be modified by the user. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : glibc (MDKSA-2003:107)

A bug was discovered in the getgrouplist function in glibc that can cause a buffer overflow if the size of the group list is too small to hold all the user's groups. This overflow can cause segementation faults in various user applications, some of which may lead to additional security problems...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : glibc (MDKSA-2004:009)

A read buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the resolver code in versions of glibc up to and including 2.2.5. The vulnerability is triggered by DNS packets larger than 1024 bytes, which can cause an application to crash. The updated packages have a patch applied to correct the problem...
